Hi Phil,
Thanks for pointing me to the manual, hopefully I can get this bashed up thing working to spec! I was surprised to see that the bit of vero-board on the back of the meter movement is actually an original part, I thought someone had been bodging mine when I looked in it. I have noticed the movement is out of balance, but it doesn't stick, so the pivots and jewels are good. Certainly more promising than my poor old Avo 8, which had a sticking problem, and while trying to sort it the coil went OC
Regards,
Lloyd.
